The theme for Founders' Day 2013 is "Dominicans: Think Globally, Act Locally." This theme reflects one element of Dominican life and education – service. A familiar Dominican motto, which adorns the atrium walls of the Tagliatela Academic Center, is "contemplate and share with others the fruits of your contemplation." This is service in the Dominican tradition: sharing generously with others our deepest thoughts and commitments.

As a "Dominican," through your association with Albertus Magnus College, we invite you to commemorate the foundation of the College by participating in our semester-long service project: 1925 Hours of Service (#Albertus1925).

Celebrate Founders’ Day 2013 by giving and dedicating one or more hours of service to others in the name of Albertus Magnus College. Some examples could be giving an hour of service at a soup kitchen or an hour of tutoring at a local school. Do you already volunteer your time regularly? Those hours count too! Wear something Albertus, take and share a photo and register your hours! Submit photos to sseslar@albertus.edu or use #Albertus1925 on social media.
